Creator's Key Takeaways

I definitely recommend buying the ticket to come out here cuz you really don't get this view from the top of the tram.

Taking the bus was pretty straightforward with our octopus card, which has been really nice.

I'm much less annoyed because this food is incredible.

If you have more time to spend in Hong Kong, I would recommend that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy a combo ticket for Victoria Peak Tram and Sky 428 for the best views.
Use an Octopus card for public transportation in Hong Kong.
Make reservations for the Ozone rooftop bar at the Ritz Carlton.
Plan for more time in Hong Kong if possible, rather than cramming everything into one day.

Visiting Hong Kong in one day? We crammed as much as possible into 24 hours — from riding the iconic Peak Tram to eating dim sum at the legendary Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong, cruising the harbor at sunset, and ending the day at the highest rooftop bar in the world. Whether you’re on a Hong Kong layover or planning your next stop in Asia, here’s your ultimate fast-track guide! Full Day Breakdown: In this video, we explore the best things to do in Hong Kong in just one day. We kick things off with a ride up the iconic peak tram and a bowl of noodles at Mak’s Noodle, before we make our way to the Mid-Level Escalators. Later we jump on the historic Star Ferry and stroll down the Avenue of Stars. For dinner , we try one of the most famous places to eat in Hong Kong: Tim Ho Wan, known for its Michelin-starred dim sum. As the sun sets, we board a harbor cruise with perfect views of the Hong Kong Symphony of Lights, and finish with a drink at the highest rooftop bar in the world. 🎥 Whether you're here for 24 hours, a layover in Hong Kong, or just planning a food-focused itinerary, this video is packed with must-see attractions, food spots, and local favorites. 📍 Locations Visited: Peak Tram Mak’s Noodle Mid-Level Escalators Star Ferry Avenue of Stars Tim Ho Wan Sunset Harbor Cruise Ozone Bar (Highest Rooftop Bar in the World) ★ Kelly's Flight Attendant Channel ★ https://www.youtube.com/@theawkwardflightattendant ★ Kevin's Abandoned Channel ★ https://www.youtube.com/@theabandonedproject ★ FOLLOW KELLY ON INSTAGRAM ★ https://www.instagram.com/theawkwardtourist ★ FOLLOW KEVIN ON INSTAGRAM★ https://www.instagram.com/kevinlacyphoto ★ SHOP OUR MERCH! ★ https://theawkwardtourists.myspreadshop.com/all ​​​​​ ★All Music from our videos comes from Epidemic Sound, get a FREE MONTH HERE★ https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/xr4rxk ------------------------------------------------------------ This site contains affiliate links to products.
